    Would it be better if the Wings lost Game 5?

    sounds like a GREAT IDEA - why dont we tank the next 2? That would be double the fun! :looney::judge:

    "Playoff Hockey" Officiating

    it is what it is. you have to get beyond it in order to win. you can't fight city hall. there's no use in getting wrapped up in something that's beyond your control. you just have to keep your feet moving and the calls will come. the game is won on the ice not in the box. you just have to take it one day at a time, and good lord willing put some pucks in the net. [i may have missed a few in there]

    Wings physical play is underrated

    congrats on the baby! my wife is due with our first, a girl too, in 3 weeks now. I've been trying to convince her, but I dont think I will successfully be able to name her Connie Smythe !

    Caps players on Steroids?

    any coincidence that a couple guys skip town to go to Russia?

    Wings physical play is underrated

    so if not fighting and hitting less for the first 60 games = coasting, then which teams dont coast for all 82 games, and how has that worked out for them? I think that while your penchant for the physical game may be a preference you are entitled to, it may be shortsighted. The goal of the season is to win the cup, right? Would you honestly rather see the Wings play like the Ducks and lose in the conference semis like the Ducks?

    Chris Osgood, Possible Conn Smythe? HOF?

    Of course you do have to take it into consideration, but Mike Vernon also had a boatload of talent in front in 1997 of him and took home the hardware. In lieu of a clear winner, the goalie is always a fair candidate. If Sid continues to put up numbers though, it will be tough to pry it from his small girlish hands.

    Roenick

    Chelios is one thing, but to extend his dislike to all Americans is just another example of JR histrionics.

    But the depth of his assholeness goes well beyond the Wings. He just may need his jaw wired shut again.

    That's all American hockey needs is that asswipe running his mouth again. Talk about classless! I wonder where he got that enormous chip on his shoulder.

    "No Elite Goaltending Left In The 2009 Playoffs"

    Methinks there are no elite writers left in the playoffs.

    I don't hate any of the hawks

    I'm starting to grow a strong dislike for Adam Burrish, but he's got a way to go for "hate".

    Wings MVP so far?

    The Great One?

    I always wondered what runs through his head as a coach. His hockey frame of reference is so different from everyone else's because he was always in a different class from everyone else. I actually think that would make it more difficult to relate to the players. I can see being able to coach people who are better than you, but it must be like coaching kids to him.

    Wings MVP so far?

    well put. i agree. the Wings have been slow out of the gate for many if not most games this post season. Ozzie has been the best player in Red for every first period. People think if the big saves are made early in the game they are somehow less important. He has been the ONLY Wing who has consistently started games well. ***edited to attribute quote reference

    Chicago Fans Complaing about Missed Calls

    and they are lazy and they suck
  16. It was a calculated risk by Staal and it paid off. Good on him!

    For You Leino Fans

    with all the scoring punch the Wings have, they don't need Leino to come in and save the day. they need someone faster on the transitions so they can continue with the odd man attacks they were getting in game 1. *** - i would love to see more Finns in the lineup too, but they just don't need him (this round).

    Huge ratings for the Wings Blackhawks Game 1

    7.7 is the rating - the % of people watching out of the total # of households in Chicago 19 is the share - the % of people who have their TVs on in Chicago edit - sorry for the dupe

    For You Leino Fans

    he definitely has the offensive capability, but I thought he looked a little behind the pace on the backcheck in the games he was called up for. With Chicago's stretch passing, that may be a little risk. Who would sit? Abdelkader? I would think speed is what we want.

    Ducks GM Bob Murray accused of cross-checking fan

    it was determined to be a "hockey play" so no call was immediately made. presumably the league will review.
